"The PSNI Chief Constable will be made aware in no uncertain terms the damage that such a practise has done to public confidence in the new start to policing.
"We will also be seeking assurances that the policy will be discontinued so that all those employed by the police will be accountable and will have signed up to the new start in policing."
